What Makes a Dad

God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so,

He called it ... Dad

In my time blogging here, I've come to know some wonderful parents.....some wonderful dads.  I don't need to know them personally to know that through their opinions and ideas through these blogs, I get a glimpse of the wisdom, morals and strength of character they impart on their family.

To all you fabulous dads out there......HAVE A FANTASTIC FATHER'S DAY!!!!!!

June, I lost my father to cancer in 72. The type of Cancer he had, today he might be alive. Might of beens and could have beens I guess one time or another we may think about but I certainly don't dwell upon it. To think of the death of Tim Russert at 58 without a warning on this Fathers Day weekend shows how delicate life is. Thanks for the beautiful poem.

You are definitely right about that, fenway. LIfe is a very delicate thing and one that should not be taken for granted. It's true that you should never leave for tomorrow what you can do today, as cliche as it may sound. I'm sorry your dad is not around anymore, but it's also true loved ones never die because they live within your heart for always. I look at my grandparents sometimes and it always hits me how much I love them. How incredibly much I love them.

Happily married to Elijah (aka "My Bunny") and have 3 funny and loving cats (Garfield, Peekaboo & new addition, Pocket). I have a great job, although it's not my 'dream' job as a Loan Analyst, but one has to be grateful to have ANY job nowadays. I have a family that I'd die for and a great core of friends that are priceless. I may not have the life people would die for, but there isn't a single thing in it I would trade. Not one. I love to read, nap and hang out in my mother's kitchen. I believe in being decent, kind and helpful whenever possible and do as much as I can to contribute to the welfare of animals. I love animals.
